2011 Subaru Forester-Lemon!!!
By Disgruntled | on Monday, July 29, 2024
Burns through oil like it's water. Very disappointed that a large manufacturer like Subaru that sells itself on value for money and reliability would 1. Put out a bad engine, 2. Discover that it was defective 3. Change the engine mid year and cheat consumers who purchased earlier in 2011 by not issuing a recall on these oil guzzlers. . Subaru- Where is your integrity?… - 5.0
Really great little vehicle
By heamye | on Sunday, November 18, 2012
I like my little car. Got new, 30K miles and no mechanical problems. Great car for short folk (I'm 5'2") with driver and steering wheel adjusts. TV ad with lady and all the kids and their stuff? Uh, no... With grandson's car seat, there's room for one small adult in back seat, no more. Not a car for someone with lots of kids and stuff. I didn't want moonroof but it came with. It leaked badly. Turned in, got rental, fixed in 3 days. Radio is NOT good. I get better mileage than advertised: 24 in town, 27 or better highway.…
